FAQ suggestion
by Arvind Narayanan
Hi,
This list is too high volume for a new user to go through the
archives before asking a question, and the "static FAQ" at
http://fedora.artoo.net/faq/ currently has too few questions
(and there is only a single person doing it, I think). So why
not use the wiki http://www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraDocuments to
summarize this list traffic into a comprehensive FAQ? I will
volunteer for it. Anyone else want to join?
Cheers
Arvind

Doesn't seem to work here. I uncomment that line, plug in the scanner
and open a terminal. As root I type 'sane-find-scanner' and this is the
result:
-----
# No SCSI scanners found. If you expected something different,
make sure that you have loaded a SCSI driver for your SCSI
adapter.
# No USB scanners found. If you expected something different,
make sure that you have loaded a driver for your USB host
controller and have installed a kernel scanner module.
# Scanners connected to the parallel port or other proprietary
ports can't be detected by this program.

Is the FB320P a parallel port scanner? If so, how do you get sane to
find it?

Re: NVIDIA driver compile
by Scott Fones
Thank you to all those that responded. Ultimately, I searched the Fedora
database. Thank you all for your patience, I know people tend to repeat
questions an annoyingly high amount. That database is a very handy tool. I
wish more people would know about it, but thanks for the heads up.
Best Regards,
Scott

Aureal Vortex 1 Sound Card Not Recognized
by Tim Sheets
Hello,
I am having a problem getting my sound card to be recognized in FC1.
The system is an older Asus PII board, and the soundcard is an Aureal
Vortex 1 as shown from 'lspci -v' below.
00:0a.0 Multimedia audio controller: Aureal Semiconductor Vortex 1 (rev 02)
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11
Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
I/O ports at b800 [size=8]
I/O ports at b400 [size=8]
Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 1
If I look at the relevant messages from dmesg, it is basically telling
me that it can't config the card I think.
[root@chode etc]# modprobe cs4232
<misc unlreted items cut>
ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
cs4232: set synthio and synthirq to use the wavefront facilities.
cs4232: Must set io, irq and dma.
So, I tried
'modprobe cs4232 irq=11 io=0xb400 dma=<0-7>' (I didn't know which DMA it
was or may be using, and I got the same error messages when I tried
without specifying dma). The resulting messages from dmesg are below:
ad1848/cs4248 codec driver Copyright (C) by Hannu Savolainen 1993-1996
ad1848: No ISAPnP cards found, trying standard ones...
cs4232: set synthio and synthirq to use the wavefront facilities.
I don't even recall where I saw a reference to this particular module
for this card, but somewhere searching around today. The other module I
saw referenced 8820 (or something to that effect) I don't have on my system.
Does anyone have any idea where to turn with this?
Thanks,
Tim

Chinese support
by gh
Hi,
I am trying to install Chinese simplified support for a colleague in FC 1 but
I have some issues.
I need an English desktop with occasional Chinese text input for kmail, OO
etc.. Now my colleague has to change the "language" (system
setttings-->language, with root password!!), logout and log back in.
- How can I avoid the language/user change?
I believe that the Chinese input program installed is XCin. The feedback that
I get is that it is very slow and inefficient compared to the Windoze
version.
- Has anybody seen/installed something better?
Some guidance would be appreciated.

less and LESSCHARSET=latin1 and scandinavian chars are &
by Jani Ollikainen
Hi,
Ok, what have you done this time with charsets..
man less:
-Kcharset
Causes less to use this charset instead of a charset defined in
the JLESSCHARSET or LESSCHARSET environment variable.
($:~) echo "åöä hi mom" >moreisless
($:~) less moreisless
&&& hi mom
($:~) more moreisless
åöä hi mom
So how to fix this?

ide-scsi ?
by David Limón Romero
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all
I'm trying to burn cds on my HP 9100 CD-RW (IDE), but I don't know why it
doesn't work, in my lilo.conf i have: append="hdd=ide-scsi" (the hdd is the
CD-RW), when I run cdrecord -scanbus, I get:
Cdrecord-Clone 2.01a19 (i686-redhat-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 Jörg
Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI
driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are
root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.
I have the /dev/pg*
Is missing something?
thanks in advance
David

Decent Games for Fedora?
by Nick Wilson
Hi all,
After getting my video drivers sorted I'm keen to know what games work
*right out the box* (or near as) for Fedora?
It seems every time I try to compile somthing cool looking it just fails
miserably, and I'd really like to see some 'free' games that'll work
nice on Fedora.
...and no, i dont' mean like the ones that come with KDE ;-)
any recommendations?
